The Capstone Writing Courserequires students to submit their writing to a construction management related journal.As a part of this change, the Graduate Committee also eliminated the use of the three persondirected project advisory committee. To support the new journal paper requirement, each studentworks with a single faculty advisor who has an appropriate background to guide the research.This change simplifies the meeting coordination that is complicated by the geographic distancebetween the students and faculty.

The graduate program has grown from six students in the 2004-05 academic year to 22students in 2009-10. Much of this growth can be attributed to the broad array of technical topicsand ability to recruit undergraduates by exposing them to challenging topics that give them aglimpse of masters-level topics. The primary mode for providing this exposure has been thesenior capstone project course sequence1, but additionally, there have been several independentstudy projects that have shown undergraduate ET students the challenges that lie in the graduateprogram.The Rapid Center houses a wide array of high-tech machinery, such as rapid prototyping(Stratasys

The working group recommended the concurrent development ofseven core courses as the degree proposal was being developed and submitted. One of the corecourses, the directed project capstone course, had already been approved as a graduate course forthe campus. In the summer of 2009, three core courses were developed, and two of these courseswere approved by the Graduate Council during the 2009-2010 academic year.
